Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure (APA, 2013). Some of medical students perceive an examination as a tension; hence they have many things to worry about before they face the examination. That kind of anxiety may influence their daily life including their sleep patterns. A person's sleep pattern is influenced by a rhythm called circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is a process in body that influences each other to adapt with the change of time in 24 hours (Thyyari and Smith, 1997).
If the circadian rhythm is disturbed, there is a chance that a person will experience sleep disorder. According to Japardi (2002). Sleep disorder is state characterized by change of sleep pattern quantity and quality that prompts discomfort. Therefore, the researchers assume that there is a correlation between anxiety level and sleep disorders among medical students in Bali approaching examination.
This research is a correlational quantitative study. The criteria of the subject are 57 medical students in Bali both men and women who their age are between 17 to 22 years old. The sampling method is random cluster sampling. The data collection method uses Anxiety Scale and Sleep Disorders Scale. Reliability of Anxiety Scale is 0.896 and reliability of Sleep Disorder Scale 0.690. Normality of Sleep Disorder Scale is 0.065 and normality of Anxiety Scale is 0.913. Linearity of Sleep Disorder Scale and Anxiety Scale is 0.000.
Data analysis method is Linear Regression Analysis. It is found that regression coefficient is 0.433 and correlation coefficient is 0.658 with probability score is 0,000. It means there is correlation between anxiety and sleep disorder, where anxiety influences sleep disorder as 43,3%.
